Thumbs up Lukas Butterfly Gardens
Today I went to the Lukas Nersury & Garden Shop in the Orlando, Florida area. They have what they call the Butterfly Encounter so I went there to get pics













There are more shots on my Flickr site. Hope you enjoy them.

I love butterflies. I tried like hell to capture on film the very rare ones that live in Panama. The Last week there I was able to get one I'll dig it out and posts.

I had some awesome ones that I took while in Vietnam back in '67. Most on color slides and now all those shots are lost in hurricane Andrew. That was a huge loss that can never be replaced.

These are wonderful and so beautifully captured. Butterflies are awesome just in the fact of the amount of variety available for us to see.
